Overview
I'm experiencing an issue with the `dmidecode` command on a system with an 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7 CPU. The `dmidecode` command does not show complete details about the CPU and other hardware components.

System Configuration

- CPU: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-1165G7
- OS: Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm)
- Kernel: Linux 6.1.0-18-amd64
- dmidecode version**: 3.4

dmidecode Output
The output from the `dmidecode` command shows limited and outdated information.

Code:
